The short opening piece, written in 1948, takes its inspiration from the Brandenburg concertos, while showing a panache and energy all its own.
Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto was a breakthrough piece after years of creative block. Its passionate and lyrical character has deservedly made it a favourite amongst his works.
Rimsky-Korsakov’s suite takes tales from the Arabian Nights and dresses them in gorgeous, inventive orchestral colours to make a dramatic and richly satisfying work.
